🚀 Our Nature paper on EPI-Clone is live

I loved analyzing the human data - we discovered that after age 50, blood production shifts to an oligoclonal pattern, and these expansions aren’t driven by CH mutations!

Dive into @larsplus.bsky.social thread for the full story & visuals.

Out @nature.com: Clonal tracing with somatic epimutations

🧬 Single cell methylome encodes cell state & clonal identity

🔨 EPI-Clone reads out both (+mutations, +RNA) at scale

Heat exposure on Western Australian coral reefs is literally off the charts.

24 Degree Heating Weeks now at Ningaloo - the highest ever recorded.

6-8 DHW is lethal for most branching corals.

>20 is catastrophic.

We explore how KBs build capacity for evidence-informed decision-making & shine a light on the often 'invisible' work they do.
